Reaction: GLUT14 (SLC2A14) tetramer transports Glc from extracellular region to cytosol
- in pathway: Cellular hexose transport
The SLC2A14 gene appears to have arisen by duplication of the SLC2A3 gene. It is expressed only in testis. The GLUT14 / SLC2A14 protein product has not been characterized but is inferred based on sequence similarity to exist as a plasma membrane associated tetramer that mediates the facilitated diffusion of glucose (Glc) into cells (Wu & Freeze 2002).
